lol. egypt's leadership apparently feels to the pressure from tens of thousands of demonstrators who converged on the doorstep of the presidential palace in cairo would be on the stepping aside to allow the protest. britain set down to go into down the views on zimbardo against syria saying it wants to punt more military holdaway to the baltimore nation. also there's some new arab spring revolution could be ripening in the gulf and numerous opposition groups unite in kuwait to bring the ruling did this is on this response and evident more entire street protests. on the british royal couple's joy are expecting their first babies mobbed by a shocking murder suicide following a regular plan called and good public jumping down to me just for.

international news this is also here with me thanks for joining us in the tell standoff between egypt's leader mohamed morsi under thousand strong all the of his opponents it looks like the president could throw in the towel first most his aides claim there's a high chance while the key opposition demands will be met that being a delay to an approaching referendum on a controversial islamic led constitution and joining me now live in cairo in cairo cairo place reporter about true good morning bro so good to see you so is it really likely that the egyptian president is going to bog down for more than two weeks of a popular uprising against him interact. who we're witnessing is some movement in the direction of the opposition forces demands very for egypt is

a broad respond to wednesday the justice ministry came out yesterday and said that the referendum may be responding to or in egypt. should the opposition forces agree to meet open dialogue without preconditions with people on the streets but it is using the rest of the minds here behind me the presidential palace dozens of protesters stated in a spontaneous city overnight after we witnessed extraordinary scenes where hundreds of thousands of protesters stormed the public in the guards broke through the concrete barriers and continued very loud protest outside the presidential gates calling for the end of the constitution which they see as illegitimate as it was written by an islamist dominated constitutional assembly and also actually calling for morsi to step down as they now see him to be what they were basically saying on the streets was he was showing dictatorial tendencies and the opposition forces themselves the coalition the national salvation front they have said they will not

open dialogue with the president sincerely listen to the rush. to really we're still here in a deadlock in egypt. true line from cairo bell many thanks indeed. mohamed morsi is heading down the same wrong road as his predecessor believes holder also one who is the president of the middle east and journalists association. those lots of feelings a against the muslim brotherhood by a lot of egyptians especially because of the role they played right after the revolution a lot of people saw that they were close to the army and the army was responsive for a lot of the problems that we were seeing but i think that they're seeing another dictator in the making they're seeing another mubarak and morsi is really making the same mistakes that mubarak. during the january twenty fifth revolution we're seeing him being too slow to react to people's demands it's a fast moving situation yet he is very slow to react and respond his speech instead

of calling people down he actually enraged the people more when protesters went down to the streets the main demand was clear that the main demand was to cancel this constitution of the creation but today if you see the footage out of egypt you're hearing them asking morsi to quit asking him to leave just like they've asked mubarak this is just a had the you are substantially approaching the fiscal cliff. do you know the fiscal cliff. do you think a lot of americans do you think most people are worried i think they are and i think that if i ignore it all go away nothing's really going to change because the economy is like that you might. begin to think about it. so the president also if americans are prepared to dive that's later. plus india declares full scale or a deadly one it's a virus disease which kills hundreds of thousands of troops in the world each year promising a one dollar of

a sin against the plane. looking to united. wants to take the edge off the bug again syria london says it wants to help rebel groups more aid and shipments of military gear so was first reports the final recipients may not be the ones the u.k. has in mind. well the u.k. foreign office has confirmed this week britain is going to be thinking an amendment to the arms embargo on syria making it easier to help the opponents the syrian president bashar al assad now a foreign office official has said that the practical support is likely to include training and non-lethal equipment britta want to play a role in syria after the other side regime falls because the business. they would like to be involved. so therefore. wants to back the winning side. never will provide. weapons but the trouble for britain they can't

identify the eventual winners. which side would you support. what would be the interests of the militia. here when they take power because the danger is there is new. leader of the opposition. therefore if but you leave. syria the. part. in fact fight one another at the end of the day it's going to be the syrians who are going to decide. from. now currently items such as body armor and night vision goggles a caught up in that arms embargo and say the amendment would allow items like that to be supplied of course throughout the conflict in theory within an increasingly fragmented opposition and

say there is a lot of concern that the supply of any weaponry kidwell end up in the wrong hands none the less it will be pushing ahead this week thinking that. a number of syrian rebels have created a new unified military command to better coordinate the insurgency in syria but so far it's only caused even more division a spokesman for the crease syrian army which was in attendance denouncing us saturated by islamists and by once controlled from outside syria meanwhile the netherlands is not allies into patriot missile battles and missile batteries to send to turkey joining german and american units they are to guard against a possible attack from syria one that lawrence wilkerson the former chief of staff to secretary of state colin powell says will never. why in the world would we put patriot batteries on the turkish border ostensibly to protect turkey with the largest army and the most powerful army in the region indeed one of the most powerful in the world turkey major no protection by us from that sort of thing and

it would be utterly. utterly stupid for assad to attack turkey in that way so why are we doing it look like they aren't connected to reality unless reality is we're preparing the ground to intervene in syria i think also that it would be again a backdoor as a war into iran. which is the as you well know the real threat that we've been putting out there for years now and i think we're looking at syria and iran being a combination that we would then take on and you're talking about in my view a conflict that becomes regional and maybe even wider one of the oldest standing gulf monuc is consumed space and you are obscuring style uprising kuwait's were cracking down on protesters on the blocking the opposition's political moves but all of this is another tries in the resistance even more. and you

don't rises over kuwait tensions are simmering beneath the calm as those seeking political change are forced to wait another day. or one sleepy community into a powerful nation although it's been ruled by the same family for more than two centuries who is widely seen as the most him aquatic of the gulf monarchies get some young kuwaitis beg to differ there is a few countries because to democracy to live in this town to the people but. it's just for show that's what the government says that it is doing all it can to maintain stability supporters of the ruling family point out that it boasts a robust public life with electoral traditions and a vibrant parliament for youth activist dollar that's not enough the opposition consists of an unlikely alliance of youth groups hard line islamists and local tribes who are ramping up their calls for reform increasingly they've taken their message to the street for peaceful demonstrations have been met with an iron fist

and we were beaten up by. the special forces. the sound. but on and after the march whoever is on the street is just being detained and thrown into jail critics of kuwait's government claim it turns a blind eye to allegations of widespread corruption and the use of security forces to crush dissenting voices ask for the rule of law. so we don't have a law we have a law that is being used whenever the government feels like using it rids here began years before the arab spring protests but have intensified over a series of political crises the opposition dominated parliament was dismissed earlier this year following a row with the ruling establishment the electoral law was then changed prompting many to boycott kuwait's most recent parliamentary vote the resulting divide is unlikely to be bridged anytime soon and it leaves the monarchy with an energized opposition eager to make itself heard was really more

current i think she was now what people are trying to i think that there are was. some stuff they want more for you know the right it was actually rochester this one shows that while the isn't enough that it was was actually in the future and how that future plays out well write the next chapter of the arab spring to see catherine r.t. . onal seat of calm does more than rest to bring again as the decades and centuries old monuc is in the gulf states and you can heard that all you can have that ground info analysis of timelines and of course we've got more news for you break.

a forty nine year old southern california man was thrown in prison and charged with possessing materials to make an explosive device oh because of his rather unusual wristwatch despite the bomb squad saying that his watch was not a weapon he read it custody for twenty four hours and was charged with the crime anyways a spokesman for the el meter county sheriff's department said that the man's watch had all the components to make an improvised explosive device minus the explosive material you know having a lighter in your pocket is also everything you need to self exposure minus the gun powder but before we make a victim out of this watch where i have to point out one thing the watch was wearing was designed to look like some sort of bomb with fuses and wires and switches so who's more idiotic someone who wears a device that looks like a bomb on an airplane or a government who convicts someone for having the components of a bomb without that bit of the bomb that makes a blow up i'd say both are pretty dumb but that's just my opinion.

this is a life for most kids good to have you with the nerds who treated the u.k.'s royal mother to be kate middleton for acute morning sickness haas committed suicide following a prank call for an australian radio station two d.j.'s called a private london hospital and possibly using the queen and prince charles to gain information on the duchess's condition he's going to walk or found out whether the media should learn with responsibility. you'd have to be living under a rock not to have heard all about kate's pregnancy that was announced this week and the fact that the duchess of cambridge was in hospital and really any mainstream media web site you can play on it and see all the details in fact you know the media speculation surrounding this pregnancy has been has really reached

fever pitch we've had discussions over whether or not the duchess could be expecting twins whether it would be in line for the throne if in fact it is twins whether if she has a natural birth or is just says area and section whether it be the physicians that decides who is the successor to the throne all this is taking place when there are other events taking place in the world still a crisis in syria protests in egypt it's all taking place against this backdrop and a lot of people saying that this media coverage of kate's pregnancy has really been rather disproportionate especially with this tragic twist that has now ensued now i'm joined by cost q. they along journalist he's been following the story of course now a lot of people saying that they're sick of hearing about kate's morning sickness now the british media is a lot of people saying overlooking much more pressing issues why is the media so obsessed with royal and celebrity culture. because it sells papers because it gives

it diverts you know divert attention away from the issue of corporate control you increase privatization of services you know we had the benefit cuts the crees division in this country i think this tragic twist is going to fuel the call of those that say that the morning to should be abolished altogether well i don't think we should necessarily use this tragic death as an opportunity for political point scoring but of course if we had a media which was more reasonable just when it happened if the suicide is actually proved to be related to you to what happened i personally think they should be should have a real family but that's another question. well there you have it now the jew and duchess of cambridge have said that deeply saddened by the tragedy of this the death of the royal not so what should have been a joyful pregnancy announcement has been saved because of the disproportionate media coverage chimed in to a very tragic news story. unless now tricor tells us happening around the world

hamas. has visited gaza for the first time bursting into tears and calling the trip he's said his to give a speech during the summer break from the party's twenty fifth anniversary the visit sparked speculation of the group considered by many as terrorist is gaining acceptance in the modern world it also comes after hamas invited its political rival fatah to the festival which could lead to a woman in relations between the policy. ball has asked congress to approve a sixty billion dollars aid package for the states worst hit by superstorm sandy the request has to get approval from the public. the president has also proposed to make the public immune to any spending constituted and one time a truck. bomb most people recover funds comes as he negotiates with the republicans to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff that's a set of spending rises and talks cards that are set to take effect on the first of

january and could be ruinous what they call me but does the average american fear the looming doom who's new york resident trying to find out. america is about to go over the fiscal cliff are you worried what should we do about it this week let's talk about that do you know if it's good vote do you think a lot of americans do so then why is the media talking about it incessantly we're also going to i guess i have not as informed as i should be but i just kind of figure it might work out do you think most people feel that way you know you think most people are worried i think they are and i think that if i ignored it all go away do you think calling it something like the fiscal cliff minimizes it yes or no i definitely agree that it's a complex problem i don't think it simplifies it though i think it adds an element of panic or fear looming. doom that and the media loves that yeah i do think

there's actually something to worry about or do you think it's something the politicians and the media used to distract us from what's really going on politics and media for sure so what's really going on that they're distracting us from. their own personal agendas if they're not really trying to work together there are three business channels running twenty four hours a day and it's good news nothing else is happening we're already caught in one so we move on and we just talk about the fiscal cliff correct i always carry every body everybody in their system even though nothing's really going to change because the economy sucks anyway oh i think it'll change i just don't think they're going to i think about whether or not americans are worried about the fiscal cliff the bottom line is the media is milking the crowd out of the for a while realistically nothing drastic is probably going to happen. is on its way to making what was seen as being one of the biggest leaps in medicine in modern times is developing a one ton of axion for

sold i want to hold she'd be trying is that people who get interested maybe the price point of a lot of money to do more than they're worth. but it's someone on but it starts making sense taking matters into their own hands to save the lives of their country's people and not waiting for the big profit driven pharmaceutical companies to make the first play preassure either r.t. bangalore india. and just ahead the hail and i'll see we'll have a big loop for us unemployment figures coming up on campus walk around with an organist. do we speak your language does anyone have the will or not advanced. music programs and documentaries in spanish what matters to you. but what will turn it to

economy actually doing the opposite to growth is it hurting growth to lay it out john butler is here he's founder of and for a capital and author of the book you see here the golden revolution and he is here to spell it out so first of all mr butler thank you for being on the show thank you learned a pleasure yeah it's always a pleasure and i want to start with this fascinating chart because this is something that you included in your recent writing and it is really a loss for to have ok it is a u.s. domestic investment net of depreciation so essentially as you explained it to me this shows that businesses aren't investing enough to keep up with how the country's capital stock is depreciating it sounds alarming but what exactly does this mean well it means that growth in the future that is not just cyclical you but structurally that is potential growth is going to be weaker though the capital stock is the new.
